Recently I passed the 70-455 exam. This exam upgrades your SQL 2005 MCTS and MCITP certifications to SQL 2008.
The exam contains 2 sections(basically separate exams), each with 25 questions:
- A part which covers exam 70-448: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance
- A part which covers exam 70-452: PRO: Designing a Business Intelligence Infrastructure Using Microsoft SQL Server 2008
You need to pass on both of the sections with a score that’s at least 700. If you fail one section, you fail on the entire exam.
How did I study
I searched the internet and the conclusion was that there is no preparation material available for the 70-452 exam but fortunately there was a self-paced training kit for the 70-448 exam, which also covers this exam. So i bought the book, scanned it for subjects that needed attention and fortunately that was enough to pass the exam for me.
